Review

Van Damme is officer Louis Burke, a roguish police detective who goes undercover to investigate a series of inmate murders at Harrison Penitentiary. Posing as a prisoner, Burke encounters brutal inmates, corrupt guards, death and betrayal at every turn. But when he unearths the shocking secret behind the penitentiary's inner workings, Burke must attempt a daring escape that pits him against not only hundreds of murderous inmates...but also a deadly enemy from his own past.

OVERALL:

ACTING:
OK acting by Van Damme in one of his better performances of his early years.

Good story that keeps you thinking throughout the film

Reason Behind the Rating:

SEX/NUDITY:
Burke has sex off-screen. Burke is left naked in a dark cell.

Fatal shootings. Near fatal beatings and bloody fights. A man is burnt alive in jail...Prisoners are killed and their body parts are used as organ transplants.

LANGUAGE:
Racist comments and language. Strong language.
